S.3140 - A bill to require the Secretary of the Interior to issue a final rule relating to the delisting of the gray wolf under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.   It also prohibits its judicial review, thus preventing any legal challenge despite it being an important part of the checks and balances to limit the authority of the legislative branch.

The 116th Congress convened January 3, 2019, this means all bills introduced over the past two years, including the bill’s below,  are now dead and will need to be reintroduced.  Appropriation bills have not yet been resolved and delisting riders can be attached.  We need to stay vigilant as we expect the war on wolves will continue to rage on.
